Sex trafficking of children is a growing concern nationally and in Wisconsin. Sex trafficking of minors has been identified, investigated and charged in most, if not all, counties within Wisconsin. It is both an urban and rural issue.
This course is designed to provide caregivers with information about what child sex trafficking is and how children are recruited and trafficked.

- Scope of child sex trafficking;
- Dynamics of child sex trafficking;
- Factors that increase a child’s vulnerability to trafficking;
- Indicators that a child has been trafficked;
